Here are some reasons you can contact IDDO for help:

• I need to apply for OPWDD
• I want to know my rights
• I have a problem with my care manager, my program or my housing
• I want to better understand what services I can get
• I want to direct my services or learn more about Self-Direction
• I think I need to report abuse or neglect
• I do not agree with a decision that has been made about my Life Plan, Housing or other services

Remember, IDDO is only able to help with issues that are about OPWDD Supports and Services but if you call us about something else we will try to help you find the help you need.
